So just last night, I was reading up on 'font-size'adjust' (3.7) and stumbled into the following bit of prose: "It does this by adjusting the font-size so that the x-height is the same irregardless of the font used." Horrified, I searched the document and discovered it AGAIN in the description of 'unicode-range' (4.5): "Code points outside of the defined unicode-range are ignored, irregardless of whether the font contains a glyph for that code point or not." I believe both instances should be changed to "regardless", because that's an actual word. "irrespective" would also be an acceptable substitute, though in my opinion just barely. See <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/irregardless> for more information, if that's really necessary. Also, never tell me who did this, because if I find out I'll be honor-bound to follow through on my public statement and slap them like a haddock. (Yes, "like", not "with".) -- Eric A.
